The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' Favorite Pizzas, and More Fun Food Facts from the Franchise | Epicurious.com | Epicurious.com The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' Favorite Pizzas, and More Fun Food Facts From the Franchise by Louise Hart on 08/04/14 at 02:45 PM Not a mutant and not a teenager. Photo: Shutterstock This Friday, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles , a live-action reboot starring Megan Fox as April O'Neil, hits theaters. It's hard to believe, but this year marks the 30th anniversary of these four juvenile anthropomorphic turtles. And food -- in particular, pizza -- has been an integral part of the TMNT franchise from inception (creators, Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird, often ate pizza while working on the cartoon). Here's a primer on all the important food facts you need to know before heading to see the latest TMNT film.

Michelangelo loves pizza the most out the bunch, and in the Archie Comics and 1987 television series, the Turtles try a variety of toppings, including clams, tuna, sauerkraut, chocolate, ice cream, bananas, jelly beans and peanut butter. James Rolfe, a.k.a. Angry Video Game Nerd, conducts a " Michelangelo Pizza Taste Test " with friends (video above). Michelangelo's quote "peanut butter and clams is an acquired taste" may be the understatement of the century, but it wasn't the worst-tasting pizza the turtles tried; that might be butterscotch, onion, and anchovy pizza. Foodbeast managed to photograph 24 of the most disgusting TMNT pizza orders in a way that makes them only look semi-unappetizing. Butterscotch, onion, and anchovy is pictured, above.

Fun fact: Turtle fans will have noticed that in the 2003 television series, the Turtles liked pizza as kids ("Attack of the Mousers" and "The Lesson"), whereas in the 2012 television series, the Turtles subsist upon algae and worms growing up in the sewers, and it isn't until Raphael scares a pizza delivery guy from Antonio's that they discover pizza proper. The Shredder is aware that pizzas are the Turtles' kryptonite and includes it in many of his plans to destroy them. Other pizza creations featured on TMNT include pizza noodle soup, p-shake (a combination of pizza and milkshake; pictured above), and pizza gyoza. Turtleholics will remember Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cereal. Introduced in 1989, the cereal featured crunchie sweetened ninja "nets" (that looked suspiciously like Chex cereal pieces) and "ninja turtle" marshmallows; pizza-shaped marshmallows were added later. You can still buy the cereal boxes, magnets, and turtle bowls on eBay .

In 1990, Hostess launched a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Pudding Pie with green sugar crust and vanilla pudding inside "fresh from the sewers to you." A Facebook group is trying to bring back the discontinued snack, and the Surfing Pizza blog tried to re-create them at home . Slightly more impressive than the 1987 TMNT portable pizza thrower (commercial above) is the Pizza Hut-sponsored pizza thrower. Capable of throwing cardboard pizzas 30 feet at up to 20 feet per second, it debuted at Comic Con . Pizza Hut also designed four cheesy bites pizzas "based upon the personalities of each Turtle": Michelangelo: pepperoni, smoked ham, pineapple, and jalepenos; Donatello: chicken, mushrooms, green peppers, Roma tomatoes; Leonardo: sweet red onions, black olives, green peppers, mushrooms; Raphael: pepperoni, sausage, bacon, and beef. Since their launch on July 7, Raphael's meat-heavy pizza has been the most popular . Cowabunga.

His signature weapon is the bō staff.

In all media he is depicted as the most knowledgeable of the four turtles, often speaking in technobabble with a natural aptitude for science and technology. He is the third oldest brother out of the four. He is named after the sculptor Donatello. Origin Biography Donatello (nicknamed ‘Don or Donny) is the brains of the team. It seems when Donatello was young he used to build his own (and his brothers’) toys. No one knows the exact age he found out he was a natural technician, but when he did, he was the one who hooked up the electricity and fixed all of the junk from the sewer into their own furniture and supplies. When the other turtles would practice their ninja skills during free time, little Donny would be tinkering with some kind of mechanical device. Even from day one, Donatello has been one the world’s most lovable tech-geeks. Personality Donatello is typically the calm, logical Turtle. He is often in good terms with all his brother and seems to be very close toMichelangelo. His favorite music is classical & classical rock, his favorite book is A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking.

Donnie is described as the “brain” of the TMNT, he is fairly studious and industrious, and a reasonable “Mr. Fix-It”. Donatello has a knack for inventing cool new gadgets and machines. He is considered the most reserved out of the four turtles. He would rather talk things out than fight and uses violence as a last resort. Though he is often portrayed as being more focused on his studies than ninjutsu training, Donatello has shown himself to be a very capable fighter, in particular, when he is in a life-or-death situation. He can set up plans as quickly as Leonardo, if necessary, though they usually centre around one of his inventions or something else that would bar Leonardo from knowing the ins and outs of the plan in question. It is presumably for this reason that Donatello is often viewed as the level-headed second to Leonardo’s command. Mirage Comics Volume 1 In the comics Donatello is originally presented along with Leonardoas one of the two calmer turtles and while the originals have no official command structure, in the early stories he is depicted as the second in command.

In the first issue he is the one that killed theShredder by knocking him and his grenade off the roof. The second issue elaborated more on each turtles personalities and opened with Donatello soldering a circuit. Later in the issue Donatello states that he is “familiar with some computer systems” and helps April O’Neil deactivate the Mousers. In the Donatello one shot, Donatello encounters an artist called Kirby(an homage to the comic artist Jack Kirby) whose mysterious crystal brings his drawings to life before disappearing. The two newfound friends journey to a dimension inhabited by Kirby’s creations and help the heroes defeat the invading monsters. During the turtles’ exile to Northampton Donatello becomes obsessed with fixing up and repairing the many broken things within the farmhouse they were living in. Most notably he spent days and nights fixing the boiler to give his family hot running water and builds a windmill and a water wheel to provide electricity. He also finds an old type writer and writes his own personal credo. In “Shades of Grey” Casey Jones encounters the turtle by a ravine as he was pondering “the fractal structure of natural patterns”. Casey accuses the turtle of using big words and acting better than everyone else.

Donatello suggests they should continue the conversation when Casey is sober. Grabbing a stick, an angry Jones continually pokes the turtle until he loses his temper and sends Casey careening into the water. City at War In City at War the turtles return to New York to put an end to theFoot Clan’s civil war. During a battle with Shredder’s Elite Guards in the ruins of the Second Time Around Shop Donatello falls through the floor and breaks his leg. Seeing their ally Karai subdued and about to be killed, Donatello grabs one of the Foot’s machine guns and repeatedly shoots the Foot Elite. Donatello is visibly shaken by the violence and throws the gun away. At the end of the story the turtles, April and Casey move back New York save for Donatello who chooses to stay in Northampton withMaster Splinter to heal from his injury as well as to reflect on everything that has happened. Volume 2 While meditating with Splinter, Donatello receives a vision of the future where he is in the village of Chihaya inJapan. When Donatello asks what he would be doing there, his master simply replies “To bury me”.

After encountering the vigilante Nobody in civilian guise, Donatello returns with him to New York to help his brothers battle Baxter Stockman. Volume 4 Comics In the current comics Donatello finds an armored truck in the sewers which apparently had been part of a bank robbery in the sixties. Along with Raphael and Casey Jones, he undertakes the task of fixing up the vehicle. After the death of Splinter, Donatello secretly goes to his body and asks forgiveness before clipping something off him. Shortly after, Donatello decides to accompany the Utroms on a mission to Tepui to search for two missing research teams. The group is attacked by strange wooden creatures who shrink them to miniature size. The creatures turn out to be a group of Utroms which had been stranded in the jungle during their first stay on Earth and had been living in secret thanks to their Quantum Inversion Redimensioning Device, which could alter their size. The process could not be reversed on Donatello, possibly due to his mutation, leaving him the size of an action figure. While the Utroms work on returning him to normal, Donatello puts his new size to use infiltrating a terrorist organization’s warehouse.

He’s also made a robotic body for himself made to resemble a turtle to help him move around. 1987 series Donatello was the most scientific minded turtle, and was responsible for the creation of most of the Turtles high tech equipment, including the TurtleVan, the Turtle comms, and the Turtle Blimp. He also managed to build a working inter dimensional portal though it is unknown how he found the necessary equipment to do so. He also thwarted a super knowledgeable Slash without any assistance. He wore purple and, as with his other incarnations he carried a Bo staff. He was voiced by Barry Gordon. The running gag in the show was that Donatello’s inventions usually had the habit of breaking down or blowing up at his face, although there are many times the team rely on him whenever they were faced with scientific or mechanical problems. The 1987 series briefly hinted of Donatello’s vocal reluctance to the group’s role as crime fighters and helping humans in particular, both in the five pilot episode and a plot point in the “Red Sky” episode Cry HAVOC.

He seemed to be the least interested among his brothers towards human culture, and even reflected if being a normal turtle would have given them a much easier life. Despite this, it never deterred him from appreciating human food such as pizza, and even bothered to get himself a college degree through mail. On the rare moments when Leonardo was kidnapped or incapacitated, Donatello usually takes on the role as the group leader. In the film Turtles Forever he was the one who created the Trans-Dimensional Portal Stick in order to reach theTurtle Prime Universe. When his skeptical 2003 counterpart (whom he fondly nicknamed “Mr. Wizard”) voiced his concerns over calling a wrench a hammer, Donatello replied that science was more than just facts and details. He was voiced by Tony Salerno. Archie Comics Coming Out of Their Shells Don played keyboards and background vocals in the stage show. Movies First Movie Donatello seemed less intelligent in the first movie. He struck up a strong friendship with Casey Jones and the two playfully insulted each other frequently while fixing an old pickup truck.

Also, in the first movie, there seemed to be more of a best friend relationship with (Casey Jones, of course), but also Michelangelo. If you watch the scene where Michelangelo and Donatello are watching the classic Tortoise and the Hare, you can tell they seem intellectually equal and the two “jokers” of the team. Oddly, though, Donatello has a comedic inability to match his brothers’ surfer slang throughout the first three movies, instead using nonsensical terms such as “bossa nova”, “a cappella”, “Chevy Nova”, and “eclectic”. According to some sceptics, Donatello bears a strange resemblance to Mike Jones, rap artist famely know for his hit song “Who is Mike Jones.” Second Movie In the second movie his knowledge and scientific originality were brought to the forefront and he was instrumental in developing the anti mutagen that revertedTokka and Rahzar to their animal forms. As further evidence of his mechanical inclination, he is also shown hacking into a computer at T.G.R.I. There is also evidence in this film that Donatello shows great emotional support for his little brother, Michelangelo, in a more obvious way; unlike Leonardo and Raphael.

Mikey tried making his brothers laugh by imitating a quote from the movie, “The Karate Kid” with his own “wax on, wax off..” routine. Of course, Raphael was the one to bully Michelangelo, as Michelangelo said, “wax on…” Raphael then interrupted, teasing “mouth off!”, thus urging Donatello to confront a rather disappointed Michelangelo and trying to comfort him with a friendly pat on the shoulder, and comfortingly stating, “everybody’s a critic.” He also related to Professor Jordan Perry on a personal and professional level, as they both rack their brains to create an anti-mutagen for Shredder’s newly evolved mutant-monsters. Third Movie In the third, and final, live action film, Donatello’s knowledge comes to the forefront in explaining the principals of the time machine that sends the turtles back to ancient Japan. As he tells the other turtles, for every person that is sent backward in time, another person must be sent forward in time. Therefore, the time machine, a sceptre, must be held by the same number of people in both the past and the future for the “cosmic trade” to be made.

Donatello’s insight’s allows the turtles to return to modern day New York. . Fourth Movie Continuing the trend of being able to relate to humans(and all three of his brothers) better than any of the otherTurtles, Donatello was put in charge of keeping the group together in Leonardo’s absence. Although he tried his best, the three were moving in separate directions with their lives. Both Michelangelo and himself got jobs dealing with the public, while Raphael spent his nights fighting crime. Donatello worked at an IT Tech Support. With Leo’s return the group once again came together, and Donatello helped his brothers in ridding the earth ofMax Winters’ evil generals. In this movie, Donatello was voiced by Mitchell Whitfield Image Comics In the Image Comics incarnation of the TMNT, he became a cyborg after his body was partially destroyed from being shot and dropped out of a helicopter (he maintained a positive attitude nonetheless, although he was constantly at risk of losing his mind to the cyborg half). The Image Comics were later treated as non-canon by the Mirage Publications. Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation Donatello in Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation is voiced by Jason Gray-Stanford.

In the Next Mutation Donatello uses a shorter metal version of a bo-staff. Also in the show, he is a lot more knowledgeable and is more concerned on what is controlling the lair, science or magic which leads him to constantly arguing with Venus De Milo. 2003 series Like in the Mirage comics, Donatello has a complex personality in the 2003 animation and thus is a popular character. Several episodes concentrate on him, as well as his emotional and intellectual struggles. He was voiced by Sam Riegel. As in his other incarnations, Donatello is knowledgeable, a skilled technician and tinkerer, and very introspective, frequently becoming pensive over things he doesn’t understand. He typically has a very close, however platonic, relationship with April. He also displays closeness with Michelangelo akin to that seen in the original movie. Even more pacifistic than his other incarnations, Donatello shows a greater interest in technology than his ninjutsu training. During his first Battle Nexus Tournament, despite being a very gifted ninja, he lost in the first round of the competition.

Even so, Donatello will defend his brothers at any cost, and he frequently assists the team in many ways through the technology he develops, mostly vehicles and communication devices. In this series’ incarnation, Donatello is generally well-liked by all of his brothers, never engaging in major confrontations with them. In fact, Donatello was the one to reunite his brothers against the Shredder in the episode “Same As It Never Was.” His skin color is a light, brownish green color; this particular color is only used for him in the 2003 animation. In the fourth season, he was infected by a monster, and in the episode “Adventures in Turtle-Sitting”, he mutates into a monster himself (which happened to Raphael in the Mirage Comics). Ninja Tribunal Donatello became one of the Ninja Tribunal’s Acolytes along with his brothers. He was the first ninja shown to focus his spiritual energy through his Amulet of the Acolyte. This is perhaps due to the fact that the Acolytes training began with studying in a library, where Don enthuiastically absorbed knowledge of the secret arts. His spiritual avatar is that of a dragon.

Fast Forward A time window malfunction (that turned it into a time machine) caused Donny, his brothers, and Master Splinter to be “fast-forwarded” to 2105, hence the show’s name “Fast Forward”. Donatello was one of two Turtles, alongside Michelangelo, that adapted best to the new lifestyle of the future. He was extremely interested in the new technology and quickly bonded with Cody Jones. Using his ideas, Cody had made many new, high-tech turtle weapons and vehicles. In the episode “The Journal”, which features the Turtles going back to their own time, he uses his knowledge of the future to build new gadgets such as a fusion generator. Back to the Sewer After a long time, Cody and Don were able to finish repairing the time portal and were finally able to back to their own time. Unfortunately, Viral took overSerling and sent them jumping around time until Donny managed to repair Serling enough to create another time portal to their own time. But Viral took control of Serling again and was about to blast the Turtles, but Splinter took the blast.

Donatello was devastated by the loss of his teacher and father, and for some time was obsessive with gathering up all of Splinter’s bits in order to restore him; constantly blaming himself for the incident. After some time when Don was faced with the choice of saving his brothers or gathering more of Splinter’s bits, he realized that he should be there for his brothers more often. In the episode “Web Wranglers”, Raphael has stated that Don has an IQ of 637 – a likely highly inflated stat. It should be noted that Don was the one who killed (with Splinter) the Cyber Shreder by blasting him with the same energy beam Viral shot at splinter at the beginning of the season. After that, he sees Casey and April getting married. Toys ” Good thing these guys aren’t lumberjacks.” “You’re a claustrophobic.” (to Casey) “Bossanova!” [April and Casey fight then go into different rooms, slamming the doors after them] Gosh, it’s kind of like Moonlighting.

[after beating the Purple Dragons] Well, that was easier then expected. Trivia Given his knack for invention it is ironic that Donatello is not named after the painter also known for his inventions and advancements in technological thinking. Live Action Donatello is not so smart but it developes in the second and third. Live Action Donatello also has a good friendship with Casey Jones but in all three movies Donatello is a fun loving turtle like Mikey. Donny is also like Drako and Warrior Dragon in SSB 4, they are all red and wear purples masks.

Donatello is the first known confirmed character (and as of early December 2010, only confirmed character) of Nickelodeon’s TMNT series, with the advent of Rob Paulsen confirming his role as Don on his Twitter account He is co-creator Peter Laird’s favorite Turtle. According to Raphael in TMNT Back To The Sewer, Donatello has an I.Q of 637 Out of the four turtles Don is the only one to carry one weapon while his brothers carry a set of their weapons (Leo, two katanas, Mikey, two nunchucks and Raph, two sais) Etymology Michelangelo (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) | Ultimate Pop Culture Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia Ultimate Pop Culture Wiki Michelangelo (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) 12,473pages on Michelangelo, the crazy & wild one of the TMNT. Publication information Olympic-level agility, speed, and strength Master of stealth Chi Gong Talented chef Michelangelo, Mike or Mikey (which they usually call him), is a fictional character and one of the four protagonists of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics and all related media.

[1] His mask is typically portrayed as orange outside of the Mirage/Image Comics and his weapons are dual nunchucks , though he has also been portrayed using other weapons, such as a grappling hook , manriki-gusari , tonfa , and a three section staff (in some action figures). More fun-loving than his brothers, Michelangelo was given a much bigger role in the 1987 cartoon series , directed at a younger audience, than in the more serious original comic books [2] which was aimed at an older audience. He came to epitomize the late 1980s and early 1990s popular culture incarnation of the TMNT. He often coins most of their catchphrases, such as "Cowabunga!". Like all of the brothers, he is named after a famous Renaissance artist; in this case, he is named after Michelangelo Buonarroti . The spelling of the character's name varies from source to source, and he has been alternately shown as both Michelangelo and Michaelangelo. In his horse form, he wears an orange feather headband and orange saddle on his back.

[3] Because Kevin Eastman 's original "ninja turtle" concept drawing (1983) portrayed an unnamed turtle with nunchucks strapped to its arms, some consider Michelangelo to be the first Ninja Turtle created. Contents Edit In the original comic books , Michelangelo was initially depicted as fun-loving, carefree, and, while not as aggressive as Raphael, always ready to fight. He is much more serious-natured in the comic book than in the film incarnations, which have labeled his character a permanent "dude" talking pre-teen. It was Michelangelo's one-shot in this series that fleshed out most of the traits that have become synonymous with the character, such as his playfulness, empathy, and easygoing nature. In one-shot story, Michelangelo adopts a stray cat (which he names Klunk) and also stops thieves from stealing toys meant for orphaned children. After their defeat at the hands of the Foot Clan the Turtles, Splinter, April O'Neil , and Casey Jones retreat to a farm house in Northampton, Massachusetts which used to belong to Casey's grandmother. While there, April is worried to note that Michelangelo is not himself.

He spends his days in the barn taking out his aggression on a punching bag. A scene shows him lashing out at his surroundings and repeatedly punching the wall of the barn until it breaks, then collapsing on it despondently, anger spent. The end of the story implies that Michelangelo's sorrow and frustration have been resolved, as subsequent issues restore Michelangelo's more relaxed, optimistic personality. It is during the group's time at the farm we learn that Michelangelo also has an interest in comic books, specifically ones involving superheroes such as "The Justice Force" (comic book heroes based on The Justice League and The Fantastic Four ). He also finds solace in writing fiction and has produced a story depicting himself as a ronin in Feudal Japan . In the issue City at War, Michelangelo instantly bonds with Casey Jones' adopted daughter Shadow, who nicknames him "Rooish". In the second volume, the Turtles decide to try to live apart from one another. Michelangelo, social creature that he is, moves in with April and Casey so that he can be close to Shadow. Throughout the first two volumes, Michelangelo seemed to act as peacemaker of the team.

These stories also laid the foundations which demonstrated his closeness with Donatello, their laid-back natures separating them from the more contentious Leonardo and Raphael. In Volume 4, Michelangelo gets a job as a tour guide showing alien visitors around Earth . His first (and only) tourist is the Regenta (or "princess") Seri of the Styracodon race. Michelangelo convinces Seri to sneak away from her bodyguards so that he can take her on a tour of the northwest coast of the USA. Unfortunately, his plan lands him in trouble when Seri's bodyguards become aware of his machinations. They attack Michelangelo and transport him back to their home world, were he is placed in prison. With the help of a Triceraton prisoner named Azokk, he manages to escape, and is rescued by a group of Triceratons who came to rescue Azokk. Michelangelo was not given an especially large role in Volumes 1 and 2, did little to advance the plot, and was often not portrayed as an especially skilled fighter.

His relatively small role was probably due to the need to establish Leonardo's role as "leader" along with the fact that Donatello was Peter Laird's favorite Turtle, and Raphael was Kevin Eastman's favorite. This incarnation of Michelangelo appeared in the Turtles Forever crossover special voiced by Braford Cameron. Image Comics Edit In the comics published by Image Comics , Michelangelo's interest in writing is expanded upon and he is established as a writer of fiction and poetry. An early issue has him selling his first poem to a poetry digest. As the comic continued, Michelangelo's career as a writer gradually expanded. In the final issue, he has published his first novel, a romance called "A Rose Among the Thorns". April mentions that the book was already going back for a second printing and that she'd heard that Oprah Winfrey loved it, which "practically guarantees that it will be a best-seller".

It is interesting to note that Michelangelo is the only Turtle who did not end up disfigured in some way in this series; Leonardo lost his left hand and had it replaced by a steel cap with a retractable blade, Raphael was facially disfigured after being shot in the face, and Donatello was transformed into a cyborg after being shot and thrown out of a helicopter. Edit In the Archie Comics series, Michelangelo was initially presented very similarly to his 1987 cartoon portrayal-understandable, considering that the comic started as an adaption of the popular animated series. As the series progressed, Archie's Michelangelo was presented as more mature than the cartoon version. This version developed also an interest in poetry. During a battle, he was temporarily blinded and later captured by the U.S. military, whereupon he was interrogated and tortured. He was eventually rescued by his family and saved the life of the man who tortured him. One of his many skills in the Archie comics was the ability to communicate with animals. In a storyline set in the future, Michelangelo is shown to have become an artist whose main job is running an orphanage.

Television Edit Michelangelo as he appears in the 1987 series Michelangelo's persona became strongly established in the 1987 animated series . He was often seen as a "Party Dude", which, though accurate in the 1987 series (which gave him this title in the theme song), accounts for only part of his personality otherwise. As the "party dude", he usually didn't have much input in the team's plans, although he was still just as active as his brothers. He typically spent much of his time joking and socializing with other characters. He is most associated with the " Cowabunga " expression that became a pop culture phenomenon. Michelangelo had a fondness for pizza , even beyond that of the other Turtles; in the Season 3 episode Cowabunga, Shredhead, his pizza cravings annoyed the others so much that Splinter hypnotized him into refusing and denouncing pizza whenever the very word was mentioned, although the hypnosis was lifted at the end of the episode. He was essentially a provider of comic relief , alongside Raphael. Michelangelo also received his distinctive voice, which has been imitated in other portrayals of him, in the 1990 series.

Employing a " surfer slang " vocabulary, he customarily spoke with a unique hybrid of a Californian surfer accent (not unlike the speech of the Spicoli character from Fast Times at Ridgemont High ) and what may have been a stereotypical "stoner" accent, though no reference is ever made to narcotics in the series. In fact, Michelangelo appeared in a 1990 animated special, Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue , alongside other famous cartoon characters, intended to inform children about the dangers of substance abuse. Additionally, all four of the Turtles were official "spokes-turtles" of the " Just Say No " anti-drug campaign, despite accusations that at least one of them exhibited characteristics of a stoner . During one of these anti-drug PSAs , Michelangelo suggests to a kid being tempted with marijuana that he should "get a pizza" to go with it, before the idea is shot down by Donatello. Michelangelo's trademark phrase in this series is the infamous " Cowabunga ". Michelangelo's voice actor was Townsend Coleman in the 1987 series' original English language version and Johnny Castro in the 25th anniversary movie Turtles Forever .

Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation In the live action series, Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation , as well as the crossover episode of Power Rangers in Space , Michelangelo was played by Jarred Blancard, and voiced by Kirby Morrow . [4] 2003 animated series Edit Michelangelo as he appears in the 2003 series In the 2003 TV series , Michelangelo is voiced by Wayne Grayson . Known as 'Mikey' to his brothers, his personality is more akin to the Mirage comics than the 1987 show. Still the comic relief, he often makes statements that spoof pop culture, although he uses less surfer slang than in the 1987 cartoon. His trademark nunchucks are once again his primary weapons, but he has used other weapons such as grappling hooks and those of his brothers. He is slightly more immature than in the 1987 series-particularly apparent by a high-pitched scream. Unlike other incarnations, he was often more reluctant to fight and he likes to tease and annoy his older brothers, especially Raphael, for whom Michelangelo is the foil .

In fact, a running gag is that whenever Michelangelo says or does something excessively outrageous and stupid, usually involving a catch-phrase from the 1987 show, one of his brothers (usually Raphael) will slap him on the head. Other characters such as Master Splinter and the Ancient One have picked up on this habit but usually whenever he disobeys. In the Fast Forward episode Time is Everything, when Michelangelo was talking too much, Splinter flipped over his seat he was sitting on causing him to fall on the ground, replying afterwards that "Somebody had to do it. It was… time." Raphael and Michelangelo mostly have a love-hate relationship in which Michelangelo frequently antagonizes Raphael (it especially hurts Raphael's pride that Michelangelo has bested him more than once, both times because Raphael's anger got in the way), but Raphael shows that he cares about him whenever he's in danger. He also seems to be very close with Donatello. When Mikey was a kid, he and his brothers went with Master Splinter to Japan to bury Master Yoshi's ashes next to his beloved.

While there they helped Master Splinter and the Ancient One win a fight against a ghost that was sent by the Foot Mystics to revive the Demon Shredder and that is when they gain their ninja masks. This happens in the episode (Fathers and Sons). Michelangelo is regularly treated as the youngest brother and little is expected of him. However, he has shown innocent empathy for others as shown in particular by his adoption of Klunk the stray kitten, to whom he is very close and also by his relationship with Leatherhead. It is his initial awareness of Leatherhead's humanity which ends up forging the bond between the crocodile and the other Turtles. He enjoys Leatherhead's company, although he can tease him on occasion against his better judgment. However, he cares greatly for the crocodile and is quick and willing to forgive and reassure him when a rampaging Leatherhead injures him in a blind, nightmarish rage in the episode 'Hunted.' Leatherhead also appears to care greatly for Michelangelo and is distraught when he believes he has fatally injured him, but delighted to discover that his fears are unfounded when he finds out that the turtle is alive and well.

As in the Mirage comics, Michelangelo is an avid fan of comic book superheroes. In some episodes, he takes on the role of a costumed super hero called "Turtle Titan" and befriends other superheroes such as the " Silver Sentry " and the "Justice Force". As Turtle Titan, Michelangelo uses grappling hooks as both a weapon and a mode of transportation. Although not shown as particularly focused on ninjutsu, preferring to spend his time reading comics or watching movies, he is quite an effective fighter and in the Season 2 finale, he became the Battle Nexus Champion, considered the best fighter in the multiverse . Although his victory was due in part to some very lucky breaks, Michelangelo later won a rematch against the last finalist and earned a medal of honor for his behavior during the battle. In the crossover movie Turtles Forever , Mikey is the only Turtle who initially likes their comedic 1987 counterparts (he is especially fascinated by the initials on their belt buckles). However, he eventually gets tired of their laid-back attitudes and yells at them when they don't take the 2003 incarnation of Shredder seriously, proving even this version of Mikey has his limits to fooling around.

In early profiles of the 2003 animated series, Michelangelo is regarded as being both the most athletic of the four, and as possessing the single greatest potential in the martial arts out of the quartet, although unfocused on training mentally (though those are admittedly old profiles and may have been early plans for the character, he has certainly proven he is an effective fighter when need be) which prevents him from reaching his fullest potential. This profile statement has since been repeated in the profile of Michelangelo in the lead-up to the debut of the Fast Forward season which began airing on July 29, 2006. 2012 animated series Edit In the new 2012 series , Michelangelo uses both a kusarigama and nunchucks. His character design was updated as well, making him slightly shorter than his brothers and giving him dark freckles as well as shorter tails on his mask. Mikey is voiced by Greg Cipes . [5] Mikey is once again portrayed as the younger brother and is prone to goofing off rather that focusing on his training. However he is still an impressive fighter.

His natural affinity for the martial arts is present with his ability to learn moves after seeing it only a few times. He also has the ability to fight without "thinking." This is something that Donatello had to learn. Mikey seems to respect his oldest brother Leonardo and although there are few scenes with them interacting together, it's clear that Leonardo cares about his little brother. Raphael is normally seen as the one Mikey loves to play with, usually at Raph's expense. Although Raph repeatedly gives Mikey a beat down for his antics he occasionally shows a more sensitive side when Mikey is feeling down. Of all the brothers, Mikey seems to be the closest to Donatello. This probably stems from the fact that although they are very different they both share a curiosity about things outside ninjitsu. Mikey greatly admires Donnie's new gadgets and is normally the first to test them out. Although Mikey isn't the fastest of mind and has a tendency to make mistakes, it's very clear that all of his brothers care very deeply for him. They all show great distress when he gets hurt or is in trouble, and anger at the one who threatens him, i.e.

when Baxter Stockman is throwing Mikey around like a sack of potatoes when he is in his more advanced armor. Master Splinter has yet to reveal what it is Michelangelo must improve on other than a need to focus. In the First Nickelodeon TMNT Comic Master Splinter tells how Mikey has more raw talent than his three brothers combined. Later in an episode saying that Mikey has his "challenges" too. Unlike past incarnations, Mikey does not say his famous "Cowabunga" catchphrase, but instead says "booyakasha." According to Greg Cipes,'booyakasha' is an Irish saying that means "High Glory and love to the very moment",so when Mikey says it,it means hope to the hour. Movies Edit Michelangelo as he appears in the original movies Michelangelo is depicted in the live-action movies as the easy-going, free-spirited turtle. One of his movie catchphrases is, "I love being a turtle!" Owing to his popularity with children, he is given many lines and comes up with several (slightly outrageous) plans to advance plots. In the first movie , he and Donatello were regularly paired together while Leonardo and Raphael were arguing.

In the first movie and the first sequel, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze , he was portrayed by Michelan Sisti; in the second sequel, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III , he was portrayed by David Fraser. In all three movies, he was voiced by The Brady Bunch alum Robbie Rist . Animated Edit Michelangelo as he appears in the 2007 film In the 2007 TMNT film, Mikey has taken to performing at children's birthday parties as "Cowabunga Carl" in order to help make ends meet to support his family. It becomes apparent early in the film that the physical and emotional absence of his older brothers has finally begun to affect the outgoing Michelangelo; when he returns home from work and announces his presence and no one acknowledges him, he sighs "Whatever..this place used to be fun". Unlike his other incarnations, the 2007 Mikey seems to draw the most emotional support from Donatello instead of his oldest brothers, Leonardo and Raphael. Upon Leonardo's return from Central America , Mikey gives his oldest brother an enthusiastic hug, falling over the couch and tripping over furniture in his excitement.

Mikey's lively and innocent demeanor returns in full force when he is in the protective presence of his three brothers again, his good-natured jokes and brief commentaries lightening even in hard situations. Clearly, despite the hardship that his family has recently experienced, Michelangelo has retained much of his usual goofy, laid-back personality and still remains the main form of funny. He is voiced by Mikey Kelley . [6] He is a fantastic skateboarder in this movie, able to complete many tricks underground. The LEGO Movie Edit Michelangelo will make a cameo appearance in The LEGO Movie as a member of the Master Builders. He will be in his 2012 animated series variant. In the films teaser trailer, he is introduced by Morgan Freeman 's character, Vitruvious, after he introduces a character based of the renaissance artist Michelangelo . Mikey is shown hiding in his shell when Vitruvious mentions President Business. He is the only Ninja Turtles character known to make an appearance. Series relaunch Edit Michelangelo is set to re-appear in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles , [7] directed by Jonathan Liebesman and produced by Michael Bay .

Originally, it controversially dropped the mutant aspect from the turtles in favor of them spawning from an 'alien race'. It also dropped the teenage aspect from the turtles. This idea was later retracted by Bay after he said that the script was rewritten, and none of the turtles will be dropped from the movie, including Michelangelo. [8] Noel Fisher will play Michaelangelo. [9] Video games Edit In the video games based on the 1987 animated series, Michelangelo is sometimes the slowest but strongest of the Turtles. However, to reflect his flashy personality, this trend was reversed and he became the fastest Turtle in the video games based on the 2003 animated series; Raphael became the strongest. In TMNT: Smash Up , he is voiced by Wayne Grayson . Spelling Edit The character's name was originally misspelled as "Michaelangelo", with an additional "a". This misspelling had stuck until 2001 with Volume 4 of the comic series from Mirage Studios, when the spelling was officially changed to "Michelangelo". The 1996 anime also used the "Michelangelo" spelling.

On the TMNT 2007 movie teaser poster featuring Michelangelo, we see the "Michaelangelo" spelling, though the movie uses the proper spelling of the name in its credits. [3] Klunk Edit Klunk is Michelangelo's pet cat. He first appeared in the Michelangelo microseries, and was hit by a car and died in the Tales of the TMNT vol. 2 issue 9. Shortly after, the Turtles discovered that Klunk had mated and had kittens with an alley cat. Klunk also appears in a few episodes of the 2003 cartoon, starting with The Christmas Aliens. Based on the revamped character designs in the Back to the Sewer season, this version of Klunk appears to be female, whereas the Klunk from the Mirage comic was confirmed to be male.
